Figure 3-10. Reeving Wire Rope On Push / Pull Power Drive

2. Tighten the front and rear eyebolts to further tension the wire rope. The system relies on the friction between the

wire rope and the drive pulley on the power drive to move the carriage. If the cable tension is not sufficient, the drive will not pull to its full capacity. It may be necessary, depending on the application, to re-tension the wire rope as it stretches. This is accomplished by loosening the nuts on the eye bolts, pulling the wire rope tight, and re-clamping the wire rope. Then, tighten both the front and rear eyebolts to put spring tension on the wire rope.

BEACHER RAILWAY WITH REMOTE CONTROL PUSH / PULL POWER DRIVE

4 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 4.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE RULES 1. Do not allow persons other than authorized service personnel to repair this equipment. 2. Do not weld or otherwise modify the beacher. Such alterations may weaken the structural integrity of the beacher

railway and invalidate your warranty. 3. Completely lower the carriage before performing any type of maintenance or repair.

WARNING: NEVER ALLOW ANYBODY TO WO RK IN OR ON TH E BOAT WHEN IT IS POSITIONED ON THE CARRIAGE. IF TH E WINCH SHOULD START FREEWHEELING, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT.

IF FREEWHEELING STARTS, NEVER TRY TO STOP IT. ALTHOUGH A SPIN DOWN OR “FREEWHEELING” CAN CAUSE BEACHER OR BOAT DAMAGE, TRYING TO STOP FREEWHEELING CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSO NAL INJURY.

4.2 WIRE ROPE INSPECTION PROCEDURE Inspect the wire rope at least once per month for signs of wear, damage, or pinching. Inspect the entire wire rope working length. Thoroughly inspect the rope sections that pass over sheaves or drums, or that make opposing turns. Inspect wire rope and end attachments carefully. While inspecting, examine any sheaves, guards, guides, drums, flanges, and other surfaces contacting wire rope during operation. Correct any condition harming the rope in use or other damage or worn surfaces at this time.

CAUTION:WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT HANDPROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.

Remove and immediately replace wire rope with one or more of the following defects: 1. Corrosion 2. Broken wires:

(a) One or more valley breaks. A valley break is a wire break occurring in the valley between two adjacent strands.

(b) Six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay. A rope lay is the length of rope along which one

strand makes a complete revolution around the rope. See Figure 5-1. If a broken wire or wires are localized in the end attachment of an operating rope and making a new attachment can eliminate this condition, this may be done instead of replacing the entire rope. Keeping the rope clean and wound evenly on the winch drum will increase its life and efficiency.

3. Abrasion: Scrubbing, flattening or peening causing loss of more than one-third of the original diameter of the

outside wires. 4. Kinking: Severe kinking, crushing, bird caging or other damage causing distortion of the rope structure. Bird

caging is a bulging in the wire rope caused by the individual wires becoming untwisted. This untwisting of individual wires is usually caused by impact loading on the wire rope (such as a sudden stop).

15

Figure 5-1.

Wire Rope Components 5. Heat damage: Evidence of any heat damage caused by a torch or by contact with electrical wires. 6. Reduction of more than 3/64 inch from 1/4 inch diameter wire rope, 1/16 inch from 5/16 inch or 3/8 inch

diameter wire rope. Marked reduction in diameter indicates core deterioration. 4.3 ANNUAL INSPECTION At least once a year, the beacher must be thoroughly inspected using the following procedure.

WARNING:DO NOT ALLOW ANYBODY TO USE THE BEACHER RAILWAY UNTIL THISMAINTENANCE IS COMPLETED.

1. Tighten all bolts. 2. Check the sheaves to ensure that they spin freely. If they bind, replace them immediately. 3. Check frame thoroughly for defects. 4. Perform the winch maintenance as described in Section 5.4. 4.4 ANNUAL WINCH MAINTENANCE 1. The winch maintenance schedule must be followed to avoid possible equipment failure or personal injury. 2. Before removing the winch cover to inspect or work on the winch, be sure the carriage is completely lowered.

Do not manipulate any of the winch mechanisms when the carriage is raised. 3. Lubricate cables and sheave bearings. 4. Lubricate winch hub.

16

WARNING:AFTER EVERY WINCH MAINTENANCE, TEST THE WINCH MECHANISM AS DESCRIBEDIN POWER DRIVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE LETTING ANYONE USE THEBEACHER RAILWAY.

4.5 STORAGE PROCEDURE 1. Ensure boat is properly positioned on carriage. 2. A boat that has water in it from a rainstorm could exceed the recommended weight capacity for the beacher. Just

1 gallon of water weighs over 8 pounds. Be sure to remove the plug while the boat is up on the beacher. Make sure you replace the plug prior to launching your boat.

3. Protect your beacher as far as possible from damage caused by environmental factors such as airborne fallout,

chemicals, tree sap, and weather hazards. 4. Never use the beacher to hang or store any auxiliary equipment such as boating hardware. 5. Do not allow anyone to swim or play near the beacher at any time. 6. Disconnect and lock out the power to the electric motor when your beacher is unattended. Never assume you will

find the beacher railway in the same condition that you left it.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING The following chart is intended to assist with troubleshooting your beacher railway lift. While not all inclusive, the chart outlines the most common causes of a problem and the recommended course of action.

SYMPTOM CAUSE AND CORRECTIVE ACTION

Winch fails to hold the carriage in a given position as described in the test procedure.

Contact your authorized dealer—tampering with the winch mechanism can cause equipment damage that may invalidate your warranty.

Carriage raising is either difficult or impossible.

Carriage is binding because either frame is not square or track is not straight. Winch cable is rubbing against the winch frame—repeat winch reeving as specified in Winch Manual One or more truck wheels is binding—inspect/lubricate/replace. Load exceeds rated capacity of winch—reduce load weight as needed. User or dealer installed locking devices are in place—remove these. Auxiliary equipment such as boating hardware is being improperly hung on beacher—remove this equipment permanently.

Boat shifts position when operating the beacher.

Boat is not properly secured on the carriage—failure to properly secure boat can cause equipment damage and/or serious personal injury.

Wire Rope is slipping on power drive pulleys

Ensure the wire rope is correctly tensioned, re-tension if necessary. Tighten spring frame nuts to increase spring tension
